A Salute To Dennis Deyoung



Styx is not the same without Dennis get in the mix
Paradise album in 81 was so very fun
Too much time on his hands
Babe a timeless classic

now at 70 he hasn't lost his longevity
although Styx is quite a mystery
thought it was a river in the gates of Hell
but I got a good story to tell

Tommy Shaw had his fued with Dennis a long time ago
back in the 90's the group stayed together
Renegade he had it made
breaking free from all the cosmic chatter

Although the group Styx operates today on two seperate entities
they both sing like a dream Come Sail Away with me lad
adoring fans came to salute such a man with the plan
Dennis winked at my mother at Mohegan Sun in the Wolf's Den
